I am sitting here blogging and I heard someone, so I yelled downstairs "Who is there?" A little voice yelled up to me, "Its just Blake, Blake the son of yours!"

UT Map

Trent got to make an edible map of Utah out of Rice Krispy treats and LOTS of sugar!!!  He took these pictures with his I-pod and texted me!!

Concerts

Christmas Sing!!

Grant sang Must Be Santa and Frosty the Snowman!

Trent sang Chocolate in My Stocking and Christmas Alphabet!

That evening was Blake's show!  He was hysterical! The pictures don't show just how funny! He didn't move!  The other kids smiled and danced, he stood there!  I got a few smiling shots! That night I asked him, "What did you think of the show?"  Blake "I loved the treats!"  Me "What about beign on stage?" Blake "I told you mom, I didn't want to be on stage! I wanted to sit with Grandma!"

 Libby and Blake

 Good example of most of the concert!!! So funny!!

Libby, Blake and Andi, our cute carpool!!

 Blake did like the cool dudes song!! 

Lydia enjoyed dancing on stage more than Blake did!!  Ha Ha

Satna's Clauset

The sweet little "misfit" elephant came to us from the North Pole Monday with an adorable book!!  His trunk is twisted and Santa decided all the toys in the "clauset" needed to be loved by kind children! DARLING!!!!  

Trent

We were standing in the kitchen talking about missionaries and Trent said, "Mom I am excited for my mission. I will get to hang out with a bunch of guys and have so much fun, go door to door and sell the gospel, but the best part is its free!"

CRAZY!!!

I was cleaning up after the dog and Blake was playing on a sled!  A minute later, this!!  Probably not even 30 degrees!  (Blake's shoe!) She wants to do EVERYTHING the boys do!

Gingerbread Houses

Sunday night we made Gingerbread Houses!!  Trent and Blake, Grant and Lydia!

Two days later! Can you see how much has been eaten?  They even chip off the frosting and eat it!!  Too funny!!
